A Travelers Heart - What Happens Now?

There's a hymn that we sing at times in church
That is called "It Is Well With My Soul"
It was written by a man named Horatio Spafford
A man who knew this kind of grief
You see scarlet fever took his young son at age four
Two years later in 1873 he decided his family
Should take a vacation to Europe but he was delayed
Because of business and he sent his family ahead on a ship
His wife and four daughters eleven-year-old Annie
And nine-year-old Maggie and five-year-old Bessie
And two-year-old Tanetta on November, 22nd 1873
While crossing the Atlantic the ship was struck by another vessel
At 2 am the captain assured everyone it would be okay
But it sank in twelve minutes 226 people lost their lives
Including all four of his daughters Anna Spafford
The wife survived when she arrived in England
She sent a telegram to Spafford with just two words
Saved Alone... Spafford sailed to England
As he passed over that same spot on the ocean
Where that ship sank he wrote the hymn "It Is Well With My Soul"
Where does he find peace like that, listen to what he wrote
And many of you sung these words
"And Lord haste the day, when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul."

What Happens Now?
I can't move on, I can't move on
What Happens Now?
What Happens Now?

I still remember everything and every day I carry this pain with me
Watch me bleed, memories, memories, memories, memories
Pain with me, pain with me, pain with me, pain with me
I still remember everything and every day I carry this pain with me
Watch me bleed, memories, memories, memories, memories
Pain with me, pain with me, pain with me, pain with me

If science can explain why you couldn't stay
Why am I one with the rain and still with all this pain
Alone with my memories, I think the sadness is here to stay

"We did not get your message either because you were not speaking
Or because of a bad connection to disconnect press one
To record your message press two
Are you still there? To disconnect press one
To record your message press two"

"Are you still there? To disconnect press one
To record your message press two
Sorry you were having trouble, please try again later goodbye"
